How did you prepare for the interview?

reread AMCAS, SDN interview feedback

What impressed you positively?

the anatomy lab room is the BEST ventilated I've seen so far. With so many ducts going in and out of the room, you can barely smell the formaldehyde.

What impressed you negatively?

no transportation to and from admissions office to interview location

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I knew what to expect beforehand

What are your general comments?

Interviewer impressed me negatively. Definitely didn't care what you had to say. Expressions were neutral and seemed forced. Made me wait an extra 30 min. past the scheduled interview time.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It would be best if they provide shuttle transportation for your interview from admissions office
